This evening in my garden in Brussels.
Can it be identified?
Thanks,
Bart

looks like Chetostoma curvinerve to me.
it should have a row of obvious long bristles on both sides of the face.
i had this one also a few weeks ago.
larvae live probably in Lonicera.

Yep.
Chetostoma curvinerve (Rondani), whose larvae live in sawfly galls on Lonicera.

I tried badly to collect it the last weekends... No way. :(
